Freeport To Demand
(irade Crossinj>;s
For reasons which we have already i cNplained, we publish this item from | the Brooklyn Eagle, instead of being j able to give our readers the informa¬ tion direct:
The village of Freeport, through its president, James Hanse, has asked the Public Service Commission fur an order compelling thc Long Island Kail¬ road (,'ompany to erect and maintain gates at all the crotHings in the village at all hours.
The petition sets forth that the vil¬ lage is lirst-class, with a population of ti,527 ; that lllll mad, Henry Street, Grove Street, Ocean Avenue, Bergen Place, Lung Beach AvenU5, Bay View Avenue and Brookside Avenue cross the tracks, and that there is protection only between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. at Grove Street, Long Beach Avenue and Bay View Avenue, while at Main and Henry Streets protection is offered twenty-four hours
The balance of streets, notably Ocean Avenue and Bergen Place, are unprotected. On September 25 of this year the board of trustees adopted resolutions asking that gates be erect¬ ed at Bergen Place and Ocean Avenue, and that all gates in the village oe op¬ erated for the entire twenty-four hours. A letter, inclosing that reso¬ lution, was sent to thc Long Island Railroad Company, but the company failed to comply, and still refuses to grant the additional protection at grade crossings, the petitioners say.
Captain Hanse points out in the petition that there is much travel acrosa the street crossings in Freeport before and after fhe hours betweon 7 a. III. and 7 p ni. and because uf that the protection should be given for the iwenfy-fotir hours as asked.
At Grove Streef, south of the track, there is a moving pirture theatir that abuts the corner, cutting off thc view of iryins coming from a westerly di¬ rection. At Ocean Avenue the view is spoiled by the .same building for trains coming fiom the east. Captain Hanse declarea that he will produce proof of the dangerous conditions and will show maps and photographs if a hearing is granted by the Publie Service Com¬ mission.
The petitoi: states that the opera¬ tion of gates between the hours of 7 a. m. and 7 p. w. is all the more dan¬ gerous because, when the protection is discontinued, persons -eeing the gates lifted are apt to walk across or drive as the case migbt be, in frent of an expreas train.

-MERRY CHRISTMAS
This being our last issue before Christmas, I want to take this oppor¬ tunity to extend my sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas to ail my readers. , Your patronage has been liberal dur- I ing tbe year and our circulation is I again larger than ever.
JOCR CHRISTMAS ADVERTISERS. Without any intention of duing so we seem to have slighted some of our regular advertisers in our Christmas issue last week. In the rush of get¬ ting that issue out we ran the list of advertisers in the Christmas colored cover ard neglected a number of our regular advertisers, who have fine stocks of Christmas goods entitling them to your consideration. These in¬ clude DaSilva's, Roas & Kandail ('o., Junes, C. D. Smith. Seaman's Dry Goods Store, Kiefer's, Smith & Be- licll's. Plump's and Johnston's Drug Stores, aid more. Look thru this s sue carefully and see what they have to offer. It is not too late to give them a share of your patronage, butil present my apologies for slighting them,
HERE IS A NEVV ONE FOR THE IKOl.LEY COMPANY. One of the junicr membera of our odice force got on fhe trolley and handed the conductor tive pennies. The conductor took them and looked at them aid Ihen said: "Say kid, I can't take these. " The "kid" looked at the conductor and remarked: "Well hand them to the Company then," and went on reading.
A VVOKI) ABOUT OUR FIKEME.N,
1: is not in nr line, since I have a special currespondent, tu wriVe any¬ thing atxuit the lireiner, but 1 am go- II:g fo say thi? one thint;. Tlie next tirne you hear a man criticising onr tire department, or any lire depart ment, for there are sone who think tliat they can h.mdle tires better fhan the firemen dn, kindly inform them that there are plenty of vacancies in the fire department, and that we are entirely willing tu have the assistance ot any who want to help in the real work af tires.
IT IS NOT RIGHT. 1 do not want fo presume to advise a A'omaii but 1 am passing tbis on tn whom it may concern. If you hnve a person working for you and when they desire another position someone asks you if fhey are honest bite your fon^!ue off before you say anything derogatory fo their rhariictcr unless you know it to lie true, and necessary. I have in mind a caao where fhe unkindnesa of woman is preventing a girl so situated (whom I believe fo be entirely honest) from securing a position. If that girl goes to ruin, there will be a bigger iilack mark on the Book of Life against the woman who maliciously or carelessly hurts her reputation than agfliiigf the motherless girl who must get her living in one way or another. It is a most pitiful condition. Each time someone insinuates something all emenafing from fhe same source and no one stating anything that can be proverl nr refuted, jusr fhe same ex¬ ecrable and ruining insinuations. "Verily 1 say unto you: Inasmuch
As you have done it I'nto one'of The least of these, Ye have done it Unto .Me."
.MAIN STREET, FREKPtJRT.
I have spoken in this column once or n;ore about b'tearns Park and its .jwner, who aays the newspapers are so under the influence of the Teiepbone Company that they will not light f(;r lower rates or betler aervice.
I could nnt but think of this when I passed Stearns I'ark, or ifs entrance, about a iiuarter of a mile north of the north limit if the Village of Freeport recently, and aaw on a aign post this sign:
.Main Streef, Freepoif.
Thert is a law against advertising misleading statements regarding real estate. I do not know whether this law will cover the case in point, but Ihat sign certainly does not belong there, and it undoubtedly will lead people to think they are buyi.ig prop¬ erty in Freeport, when they are not. Of course, 1 am not prepared to say what fhe purpose nan when putting it there, but it did nof seem to me that it was a proper place for such a sign.

According to one of the Juniors, thc< Seniors took down the schuol pennants from the Assembly Hall and placed thein in their room, 'lhe Juniors diii not like Ihia and took fhe seniors t. task for it. Ihey also recaptured the penna'its and the Seniors challcngci: the Juniors to a buwl light to decide which class was fo replace the bannertt II, the Asscnbly Hall The tight was held on the scliool lawn on Tuesday am' the Seniors loat. According to flu agreement tbe Seniors were to tack up the pennants. They captured Alfrei' Kollo Tuesday afternoun and force.'. him to heip fhein du the work. VV'hik placing the regular pennants in pusi- tion the Seniors also placed ai, oh. piece of cli.th with the .luniors yea: painted on it on lhe wall of the ball. As soon as the Juniors learned tliat one of their men was forced to titlp tbe Seniors and also that Ihe cloth had been fastened up they began to plan ¦» revenge.
The basketball team played a gam. at Merrick and as soon as the gamu was over the Juniors retiirned to F'ree¬ port and called Ralph Hoyt, a Senior, nn the telpphone. Hoyt was iii bee but as soon as he was made to under¬ stand fhat some Juniora were about the Schnoi Building and that the Seniors needed his help, he immediate¬ ly dressed and started for fhe Schoo, Huililing. Wlien he neared fhe corner of Smith anhd Grove Streets lie was set upon by a number of Juniors wh. tied hiin and placed hirn in Randall's autiiniobile. Hovt was then taken ti Seaford, and his feet untied, and fold to walk home, which he did, arriving about two o'clock. The boya in the automobile then returned fu Freeport after leaving Hoyt af Seafurd and crawled through one of the windows of the Schoul. They then crawled through a transom to get into the room where fhe pennants were.
Sume of the Seniors who were on the watch immediately sent wurd to the police headquartera and two oflicers were sent fo investigate. The boys were taken to headquarters where they were fisriilpd by Oflicer Cozzens until 9 o'clock Wednesday morning when Judge Pettit dismissed them after a lectore.

Freeport To Demand
(irade Crossinj>;s
For reasons which we have already i cNplained, we publish this item from | the Brooklyn Eagle, instead of being j able to give our readers the informa¬ tion direct:
The village of Freeport, through its president, James Hanse, has asked the Public Service Commission fur an order compelling thc Long Island Kail¬ road (,'ompany to erect and maintain gates at all the crotHings in the village at all hours.
The petition sets forth that the vil¬ lage is lirst-class, with a population of ti,527 ; that lllll mad, Henry Street, Grove Street, Ocean Avenue, Bergen Place, Lung Beach AvenU5, Bay View Avenue and Brookside Avenue cross the tracks, and that there is protection only between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. at Grove Street, Long Beach Avenue and Bay View Avenue, while at Main and Henry Streets protection is offered twenty-four hours
The balance of streets, notably Ocean Avenue and Bergen Place, are unprotected. On September 25 of this year the board of trustees adopted resolutions asking that gates be erect¬ ed at Bergen Place and Ocean Avenue, and that all gates in the village oe op¬ erated for the entire twenty-four hours. A letter, inclosing that reso¬ lution, was sent to thc Long Island Railroad Company, but the company failed to comply, and still refuses to grant the additional protection at grade crossings, the petitioners say.
Captain Hanse points out in the petition that there is much travel acrosa the street crossings in Freeport before and after fhe hours betweon 7 a. III. and 7 p ni. and because uf that the protection should be given for the iwenfy-fotir hours as asked.
At Grove Streef, south of the track, there is a moving pirture theatir that abuts the corner, cutting off thc view of iryins coming from a westerly di¬ rection. At Ocean Avenue the view is spoiled by the .same building for trains coming fiom the east. Captain Hanse declarea that he will produce proof of the dangerous conditions and will show maps and photographs if a hearing is granted by the Publie Service Com¬ mission.
The petitoi: states that the opera¬ tion of gates between the hours of 7 a. m. and 7 p. w. is all the more dan¬ gerous because, when the protection is discontinued, persons -eeing the gates lifted are apt to walk across or drive as the case migbt be, in frent of an expreas train.

-MERRY CHRISTMAS
This being our last issue before Christmas, I want to take this oppor¬ tunity to extend my sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas to ail my readers. , Your patronage has been liberal dur- I ing tbe year and our circulation is I again larger than ever.
JOCR CHRISTMAS ADVERTISERS. Without any intention of duing so we seem to have slighted some of our regular advertisers in our Christmas issue last week. In the rush of get¬ ting that issue out we ran the list of advertisers in the Christmas colored cover ard neglected a number of our regular advertisers, who have fine stocks of Christmas goods entitling them to your consideration. These in¬ clude DaSilva's, Roas & Kandail ('o., Junes, C. D. Smith. Seaman's Dry Goods Store, Kiefer's, Smith & Be- licll's. Plump's and Johnston's Drug Stores, aid more. Look thru this s sue carefully and see what they have to offer. It is not too late to give them a share of your patronage, butil present my apologies for slighting them,
HERE IS A NEVV ONE FOR THE IKOl.LEY COMPANY. One of the junicr membera of our odice force got on fhe trolley and handed the conductor tive pennies. The conductor took them and looked at them aid Ihen said: "Say kid, I can't take these. " The "kid" looked at the conductor and remarked: "Well hand them to the Company then," and went on reading.
A VVOKI) ABOUT OUR FIKEME.N,
1: is not in nr line, since I have a special currespondent, tu wriVe any¬ thing atxuit the lireiner, but 1 am go- II:g fo say thi? one thint;. Tlie next tirne you hear a man criticising onr tire department, or any lire depart ment, for there are sone who think tliat they can h.mdle tires better fhan the firemen dn, kindly inform them that there are plenty of vacancies in the fire department, and that we are entirely willing tu have the assistance ot any who want to help in the real work af tires.
IT IS NOT RIGHT. 1 do not want fo presume to advise a A'omaii but 1 am passing tbis on tn whom it may concern. If you hnve a person working for you and when they desire another position someone asks you if fhey are honest bite your fon^!ue off before you say anything derogatory fo their rhariictcr unless you know it to lie true, and necessary. I have in mind a caao where fhe unkindnesa of woman is preventing a girl so situated (whom I believe fo be entirely honest) from securing a position. If that girl goes to ruin, there will be a bigger iilack mark on the Book of Life against the woman who maliciously or carelessly hurts her reputation than agfliiigf the motherless girl who must get her living in one way or another. It is a most pitiful condition. Each time someone insinuates something all emenafing from fhe same source and no one stating anything that can be proverl nr refuted, jusr fhe same ex¬ ecrable and ruining insinuations. "Verily 1 say unto you: Inasmuch
As you have done it I'nto one'of The least of these, Ye have done it Unto .Me."
.MAIN STREET, FREKPtJRT.
I have spoken in this column once or n;ore about b'tearns Park and its .jwner, who aays the newspapers are so under the influence of the Teiepbone Company that they will not light f(;r lower rates or betler aervice.
I could nnt but think of this when I passed Stearns I'ark, or ifs entrance, about a iiuarter of a mile north of the north limit if the Village of Freeport recently, and aaw on a aign post this sign:
.Main Streef, Freepoif.
Thert is a law against advertising misleading statements regarding real estate. I do not know whether this law will cover the case in point, but Ihat sign certainly does not belong there, and it undoubtedly will lead people to think they are buyi.ig prop¬ erty in Freeport, when they are not. Of course, 1 am not prepared to say what fhe purpose nan when putting it there, but it did nof seem to me that it was a proper place for such a sign.

They then crawled through a transom to get into the room where fhe pennants were.
Sume of the Seniors who were on the watch immediately sent wurd to the police headquartera and two oflicers were sent fo investigate. The boys were taken to headquarters where they were fisriilpd by Oflicer Cozzens until 9 o'clock Wednesday morning when Judge Pettit dismissed them after a lectore.
